Comment: I was looking for a guide book to help with an upcoming trip to one of the lesser known places to see in Italy. Paestum. Rick Steves' book was the only one that had a comprehensive guide to the city and ruins of Paestum. All the other Italy tour guide books only slightly mentioned it and how to get there. Steves' has a great layout of the ruins and a guide to the museum and places around Paestum to visit. This book is also a great guide for people coming to Italy for an extended period of time. The book has information for the big places to visit (Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan) as well as the lesser known places to visit (Paestum, Puglia, Assisi, and Cortona). A must for the traveller. Not much of a difference with the 2002 book. It mostly has updated phone numbers and updated prices. If you have the 2002 book and don't have the money you really don't need this one, but if you are crazy about Italy or are looking for a book on travelling around Italy this is the best book out there.

Summary: The Best Book on Travel in Italy!
Comment: Rick Steves is the only travel writer you can trust 100% of the time. I lived in Italy for 2.5 years, so I know of what I speak. Only Rick Steves tells it like it is.
Frommer and Foders are hacks for the travel industry. Following their suggestions will give you nothing but a "canned" version of Italy. Rick Steves, however, shows you Italy from the native's perspective. . . which is what most people want but never get with the "mainstream" guidebooks. Steves never compromises and is blunt and accurate in his advice. He's also a joy to read, far better than the dry writing one finds in other travel guides.
If you are going to spend several thousand dollars on a trip to Europe, don't cut corners when it comes to the essentials - and Rick Steves' Italy 2001 is a bargain-priced ESSENTIAL. Study it before going and bring it with you for reference. I highly recommend all of Rick Steves' books, especially Europe Through the Backdoor for first-time travelers to Europe.
